COMPOSITION FOR SHOE DRESSING.

No Drawing. Application filed May 26,

T 0 all w item it may concern Be it known that 1, PETER Tironnson, a citizen of the United States. and resident of the town or" Baldi, county of King, State of l Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compositions for Shoe Dressing, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in compositions, and more particularly to a composition of matter especially useful as a shoe dressing; the principal. object of the invention being to provide a shoe dressing that will resist water, that will act as a preservative to the leather and seams of shoes to which it is applied, and will keep the leather soft and pliable.

A further object of the invention resides in the proper proportioning of the ingredients used and in the manner of mixing the same.

My. composition consists of a mixture of pure pine tar, beef tallow, rubber and neats foot oil. 7

In preparing, I prefer to use the ingredients in about the following measured pro-- portions: one part pure pine tar. one part beef tallow and one part rubber to which is added one pint of neats foot oil to each gallon of mixture of the three above ingredients after being reduced by boiling.

The preparation consists of mixing solid texture beef tallow with rubber, such as used in the inner tubes of automobile tires, and boiling this until it is reduced to a paste.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9, 1922.

1921. Serial No. 472,868.

To this when partly cooled is then added, rendered beef tallow and pine tar that has been warmed so that these ingredients can then be mixed thoroughly. The neats toot oil is then added in the quantity as above stated, and all are thoroughly mixed and then allowed to cool.

The rubber vehicle provided in the composition, when the latter is applied to the leather of shoes, fills the pores, Keeping the leather soft and pliable. The tallow, oil and tar resist water and add to the life of the leather.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is: i

1. A composition adapted, for use as a leather dressing and preservative consisting of a mixture of substantially equal parts, by measurement, oi beet tallow, pure pine tar and rubber, to which mixture is added one part of neats toot oil to eight parts of mixture. I

2. The process of preparing a leather dressing from a mixture of beef tallow, pure pine tar, rubber and neats toot oil which consists of warming to a'l'iquid and mixins' together, the first three ingredients in equal proportions and then adding one pint of neats toot oil toeach gallon of mixture and then allowing the composition to cool.
